It’s finally looking like summer here in Boston – not to mention that it finally stopped raining – and that means it’s time to get out and enjoy being outside. Whether it’s by the ocean, the mountains or the lakes, Boston and New England have a little bit for everyone. And, if you want to stay inside, we’ve got that too.

Here are some of our favorite upcoming activities:

Zip Line Rides: Ride the ‘Z’ and fly over the Greenway with views of the harbor and downtown Boston. Probably not advisable after visiting the beer garden. Thursdays – Sundays all Summer
